What a pondrous thing. So many sayings about it. Some good, some bad. It makes perfect sense: life is what you make of it.

I don't have time to elaborate too much now, but I don't think that happiness is a function of effort. Effortless effort maybe, but what I mean to say is: It's not difficult to be happy, nor is it something that takes vigilance to maintain. And I don't think everyone is unhappy. Shit, I'm VERY happy. Sure, I have my bad days, and those days are the ones where I am most likely to publicly complain, but overall I am very happy. I love my life. I love my family. I love my friends. I love my job. I love all the weird, quirky, fucked-up shit that people do because it makes me laugh.
Happiness is a function of LOVE, not of effort. The more LOVE you have, the happier you are. LOVE does not take effort, does it? No, LOVE is when you see things for what they are: a part of the universe which is you. I LOVE you! Peace
